THE 26th of November, being Sunday, Richard Austen and his brother Thomas came to the aforesaid table after the communion was done, and as I was going by them, Richard said unto me, Mr. Parson, we want to speak with you. And I said, What is your will? And he said, You know that you took down the tabernacle wherein the rood did hang, and such other things: we would know what recompense you would make us: for the queen's proceedings are (as you know) that such things must be put up again.

"SAID I," I know no such proceedings as yet; and as for what I did, I did it by commandment.
NO, said Thomas Austen, you will not know the queen's proceedings.
